Trump said he was 'not happy' with Israel’s Beirut attack, which triggered Iranian missile fire
Trump said he would urge Netanyahu to hold off as Israel intercepted Iranian missiles and both sides weighed the impact on ceasefire talks.
- On June 7, President Donald Trump said he would call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to press him not to retaliate after Iran fired missiles at Israeli targets, Axios reported.
- Netanyahu ordered strikes on Beirut's southern Dahiyeh district earlier that day, citing Hezbollah fire, which prompted Iran to launch a missile salvo that Israel's military intercepted.
- US Central Command forces struck Iranian coastal radar sites on June 6 after shooting down drones, prompting the Revolutionary Guards to retaliate against bases in Kuwait and Bahrain with ballistic missiles.
- Following the call, Netanyahu agreed to a truce plan with the Lebanese government, though Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei posted on X that Iran would deliver a "decisive and painful response."
- Trump told Fox News that Iran should "get back to the table," while Tehran demands the lifting of international sanctions and the release of billions in frozen assets for peace.
